An Empirical Calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Distance Method in the Near Infrared. II. JWST NIRCam Wide Filters

The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is a standardizable candle, identifiable as the discontinuity at the bright extreme of the red giant branch (RGB) stars in color–magnitude diagram space. The TRGB-based distance method has been used to measure distances to galaxies out to D ≤ 20 Mpc with the Hu...
